Book Excerpt

Monica never heard Alex leave for his hike. She didn’t even hear him get out of bed. That's why the knock at the front door at seven thirty startled her. She stumbled into the sun dress thrown across the hamper and crept into the living room. Quinn's unmistakable silhouette was standing at the front door. She unlocked it noticing his usual shorts and flip-flops with no shirt. She thought she must still be dreaming at the sight of his golden and tattooed body.
“I couldn’t sleep,” he rushed in, taking her face in his hands and lifting her from the foundation with his lips. For a minute she forgot they were in clear view of the park, overcome by his display. His biceps gripped her body like the ace bandage on her ankle. She anchored to his shoulders as he herded her backward and kicked the door closed. She lost balance, but he scooped her up faster then she could comprehend.
“Wait! No! Put me down!”
He ignored her, taking her lips with a forceful breath until she struggled to her feet.
“Not in here. It’s dangerous.”
“You like dangerous." I love it!
"Not in my living room."
"Then where? You call it. I want to be inside you," he said in her ear, "now."
Fuck it! She climbed him like a tree. His lips pulling her in as his strong hands supported her ass. She loved the feel of his hard length grinding her into the back of the sofa. There was a gasp through a held breath as she helped him wiggle her panties to the floor.


About the Author:

Im a designer, author, wife and dog-lover living in the South Pasadena area of California. I got my BFA in Film Production from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, but my love of a good story came way before college. I remember writing my first full story in fifth grade on a typewriter. I cut and pasted it into a book, complete with cardboard cover and taped binding. Things have changed a lot since then. With the magnificent digital age I can produce books and give them to the world without a sticky mess.
In collegeb numerous instructors and peers praised my dialogue pushed me to hone  my storytelling skills. Of course the need to cut and paste was still there, so I went into the world of Production Design and Art Direction for films and television. It gave me the ability to connect design to storytelling in a way that no other career can. The past 18 years have spun a unique perspective on visually emotional tales of relationships and the thread that ties all things together. Now I’m shifting focus on the driving force thatn brought me here… stories. I hope that I can share a unique perspective on life, love and the pursuit in all of the above.
